Some Issues That Need Clearing Up

October 28, 2002|By JIM SHEA; Courant Staff Writer

The fourth and final Rowland-Curry debate takes place tonight. So far, the gubernatorial set-tos have been mostly yada-yada-yada. Here's hoping the media panel gets around to asking about some of the issues that we're really concerned with.

Here are a few suggestions:

Would you be opposed to sending in the National Guard to keep the Greenwich beaches accessible?

Would you be opposed to selling off that part of the state?

How is it fair that taxpayers are paying for the new UConn football stadium, but the rich guys are getting the best seats?

The AFLAC duck, pro or con?

What are your thoughts on positioning bulldozers along I-84 to deal with traffic tie-ups?

If elected, will you promise here and now to change the spelling of Adriaen's Landing?

For Bill Curry: Prior to this year, where were you, what were you doing, and did anybody see you?

For the governor: You have been in office eight years now, and yet there is only one Krispy Kreme franchise in the entire state. Is that grounds for impeachment?

Finally: Mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole for those convicted of talking on a cellphone while driving: for or against?
